1) Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.

Seven things about myself - I don't consider myself a very good writer. Cook, yes, but sometimes I have a hard time articulating myself. I think I try too hard sometimes, so now I'm just going to let it fly!!
I've been unemployed since June of last year. Now I feel that it has been a blessing in disguise. I've had the time to start my blog and pursue my passion for cooking. I really enjoy meeting everyone and sharing our food and our stories!
I was a Lead Teacher for a Day Care Center until June. I had to leave the position. I taught in the Toddler Room - 2-1/2 to 3 years old, potty training and all that. When the room got up to 16 children, with only one assistant, I had to call it quits - it was just too much. I've just recently become a consultant for Pampered Chef and have two shows scheduled this month!
As soon as funds become available, I am going to attend the Culinary Institute in New York and if all works out well, I will finish my studies in Italy! I have Polish roots, but I have always been a lover of Italian Food and Culture.
I have two fabulous, handsome sons, both men now. One a Police Officer for our city and the other, a well-established barber. Everyone gets their hair cut every other day now!
Hubby and I getting divorced - but it's a good thing, so no apologies necessary. I only wished it would have happened sooner, I'm not getting any younger you know!
Music - I love one hit wonders!
Ok enough about me - on to my choices.
A great big thanks and hugs to all my BFF's who invited me to share and link up on their sites! Have a great day and grab your award!
